Mike Ulrich, Public Works Supervisor, reported that the plant was built to hold one-ton chlorine cylinders, but the City had to receive permission from the Fire Chief to install those cylinders without the installation of an air scrubber. Permission was granted.

City's operations, therefore, the purchase of more efficient and cost effective one-ton chlorine scaleswasrecommended.
